- What is a network slicing for a transport backbone network?- The key technology that builds the network slice is node and network virtualization.- The network slice implementation on routers- How to provide a network slice API

Service
based 5G core and RAN architecture definition, control plane and user plane
separation, and disaggregation of RAN and core network infrastructure equipment
are resulting in integrated and unified transport networks. Network slicing is
critical in this integrated and unified transport network to provide ability to
create hierarchy of virtual networks while sharing common physical
infrastructure with the goal of tight coupling of network metrics with the
service characteristics. This presentation talks about technology solutions
that enable hard and/or soft network slicing for ease of service deployment
& service agility.
